Perfect Sangria

While we don’t advocate drinking down in Civic Park, I think Lou was onto something. What better way to celebrate a perfect summer day than with a glass of Sangria with good company, they’ll be “glad they spent it with you.”

Sangria, naturally goes perfectly with Tapas. If your entertaining some simple marinated Calimari, some olives, or maybe some marinated goats cheese would all be great partners with Sangria.

If your’re planning to serve Sangria at a part all of the following recipes can be easily doubled or tripled.

In a jug combine the wine, orange and lemon wedges (give them a squeeze first).and add the sugar and brandy. Chill overnight. Add ginger beer or squash just before serving. If you’d like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice.

I liked the sound of this one, it’s a little bit fresher and lighter than many recipes I’ve seen.

This recipe requires a bit of preparation! Heat the water, sugar, and cinammon sticks until they’re simmering for 5 minutes, then cool back down to room temperature. Pull out the sticks, and mix in all remaining ingredients. Chill overnight. Pour over ice the next day, and enjoy!
